Syrah 2012

The comparative altitude of these isolated vineyards is well suited to a floral, silky, pepper-spiced, Rhône-style of Syrah. Blending 2 different Syrah vineyards (Topside and Steepside) on the farm, the 2012 vintage was their finest to date, achieving top scores at every tasting. It was placed just behind Chave and Mullineux out of 37 of the world's top Syrahs by Christian Eedes, scoring it 95 points. And Matthew Jukes named it his top SA red from his visit to the Cape in 2014, calling his tasting of the Keermont wines his "greatest South African sensory experiences of the year".
